Independent Verification for a Safe and Controlled Plant Start-Up
At Lion Safety Consulting, we conduct Pre-Startup Safety Reviews (PSSR) to ensure that your facility is fully prepared for safe start-up. PSSR is a structured, practical assessment that verifies whether design, documentation, technical safeguards, operating procedures, and organizational arrangements are ready before introducing energy, utilities, or hazardous substances into the plant. As the final critical step before commissioning, PSSR helps identify gaps that could lead to incidents, equipment damage, delays, or increased operational risk.

From Hazard Identification to Quantified Risk
Quantitative Risk Evaluation for Critical Safety Decisions.
Independent PSSR before plant start-up. We verify technical, procedural, and organizational readiness, identify critical gaps, and support a safe, controlled commissioning process.The client receives an independent and practical assessment of start-up readiness together with a clear list of actions to be closed before start-up or immediately afterwards, in line with the agreed risk priority.
Our Approach to PSSR:
Independent Review
We facilitate the PSSR process independently and objectively, ensuring unbiased assessment of the plant’s readiness for start-up.
Documentation Check
We verify that all design documentation, process safety requirements, and follow-up actions from HAZOP, LOPA, and SIL analyses are complete and accurate.
Operational Readiness Assessment
We evaluate the status of procedures, emergency protocols, and start-up processes to confirm they are fully prepared for safe commissioning.
Field Verification
Our experts conduct site visits and workshops to inspect equipment, verify safeguards, and validate readiness in practice.
Findings & Prioritization
We provide a structured findings register, classify actions by priority, assign responsibilities, and set target closure dates to ensure timely risk mitigation.
What exactly is PSSR and why do you need it?
PSSR is a structured and practical review of a facility’s readiness for safe start-up. The purpose of this service is to confirm that the design, documentation, technical safeguards, operating procedures and organisational arrangements are sufficiently prepared before introducing energy, utilities or hazardous substances into the plant.
In practice, PSSR is the final critical verification step before start-up. It helps identify gaps that could otherwise lead to process incidents, equipment damage, commissioning delays or an uncontrolled increase in operational risk.
Our PSSR approach is based on independent and objective facilitation of the review process. We assess the plant’s level of readiness against design documentation, process safety requirements, HAZOP / LOPA / SIL follow-up actions, operational preparedness and the status of open actions. The review concludes with a clearly structured findings register, priority classification and support in assigning owners and target closure dates.
